BOTYC: 1/10 - Miho Abe - JTO TakaTaichiMania 3

I think any birthday where Minoru Suzuki personally delivers your cake would have to be considered a BOTYC. Happened after the very heartfelt main event of Taichi vs DOUKI and some post-match promos.

Timestamped to about 7:15 when the birthday starts, and there are English subtitles that can be turned on (highly recommended):

Weirdest Match of the Year: Will Ospreay vs. BUSHI - NJPW New Japan Cup 3/6

The entire structure of this match was just bizarre, with multiple ref bumps that were completely accidental by both wrestlers and didn't result in any cheating or advantage given to either side and none of us watching it in the thread could figure out what was going on or why.

2nd. Ospreay doing NXT faces every time it happened added to it

Best New Move inspired by a Promotions founder after smack talking that promotion in an interview: Okada's Cobra twist Flowsion NJPW Dominion 5/1/22

Okada busting out an Inoki Enguri than doing a Cobra Twist into a Emerald Flowsion is the silly, over done stuff I love in Wrestling

2nd. Okada beat that little bitch Kaito and took Misawa's legacy from NOAH

uhhh i forgot this match was even happening. i should probably watch it if this was the end result.

It is the best match I've been there live for and the most I've got emotionally invested and I'm a Naito mark who watched him win the big one.
